Dyno
Today I learned something that I probably would have never thought of.
Some dyno readings are much higher than others because some run on metric voltage. |

Re: Dyno
I have to ask : Is this an attempt at humor?

Please elaborate. Or is this an early April 1 posting?

Re: Dyno
Good one Pete . . . that metric voltage, combined with the metric rings, metric air and metric fuel, should make the average metric-boosted street flathead easily make over 300 MHP!

But shouldn't that be 482 Kilometers per mile?

To get more Horsepower, don't increase the Octane, increase the oxygen!

Re: Dyno
Man I remember the 25 cycle lighting in the railroad tower. The flicker bulbs would give you a headache.

Re: Dyno
I saw a dyno set-up for sale today for $500. on Eugene Oregon Craigslist. You will need to figure out if it runs on other than regular power.

Re: Dyno
Is that 3 stone or 5 hands high? or a foot or mile? Sounds like some fancy stupid science crap to me. Metrics.
DC current is safe. . Last edited by Tinker; 03-19-2022 at 12:22 AM. |

Re: Dyno
FWIW: I, for one, . . . do NOT like having my Richard knocked into the dirt! Just making that clear for all.

I was attempting NOT to appear "too uncouth" in this friendly, family setting. Hence, the following examples: William...=BILL Robert....=BOB James.....=JIM Charles....=CHUCK Richard....=DICK So..."DC Current will knock your BOB (or BILL, or JIM, or CHUCK, or DICK) in the dirt!" Like Dale above, I don't like having any of my favorite names "knocked in the dirt" either! For "Tinker", whom this response was originally addressed to, there is an old US Navy or electrical lore story that has been passed-around for many years. A Navy electrical tech on a submarine had put a new 9V battery (DC) in his volt/ohm meter. I guess he had intended to check-out his internal BODY resistance on the OHMS scale as measured from one hand to the other, which we all have done by holding one meter-probe tightly between thumb & finger on each hand. That resistance is then measured on the dial of an analog meter with a very small movement, depending on how tightly you squeeze the probes. THIS guy's probes were the POINTY ones with a very sharp point on each. Instead of squeezing his two probes, he managed to jamb his two thumbs down onto the pointy probes such that they penetrated the skin, and made contact with the resultant blood on each thumb. It killed the guy as dead as having his "BOB knocked in the dirt". NOW, with measuring his resistance THROUGH his heart (BLOOD), DC current produced by the 9V battery in the meter taxed what his heart could stand going through it. It has arguably been said that as little as 10 mA THROUGH the heart CAN be enough to kill a person. Your mileage may vary! DD . Last edited by V8COOPMAN; 03-24-2022 at 02:46 AM. |

Sounds like a typical "Urban Myth" . . . and I'm not buying it! LOL

Re: Dyno
Apparently its the milli amps that kills ya. In this case, it makes no difference if you're metrically or imperially inclined. Dead is still dead!

Re: Dyno
the dyno results will not be accurate if not using metric exhaust pipes, liters of air and imperial gals of fuel but metric plug wires will help!
